2. If anyone not in your car can hear the music playing in your car, you are low class.
3. Not returning your shopping cart to the stall in the grocery store parking lot.
4. Not washing your hands after using the bathroom.
5. Going shirtless in public.
Wrong. You’re born into class. It’s about pedigree. It’s about upbringing. It has nothing to do with your present circumstance. I can smoke, play my music loud and run around shirtless and still be high class. Nothing I do will take away my father's degree from Yale law school or affect my legacy status at my family's swim and tennis country club in Bethesda. Good manners are for peasants who can't afford to do whatever they want.
I think it goes without saying that this is a low class thread. Having said that, let me specifically address a couple of your bullet points. I found myself in a laundromat (“low class”) a few weeks ago and I tried using the single person restroom but someone inside said “just a minute.” He was in there for a long time, so there’s really only one possibility for what he was doing. I watched him exit and walk straight out the door, where he resumed doing some sort of painting or exterior work on the building. To my disgust, I found there was no sink or soap or sanitizer in the bathroom; you had to use a sink directly outside the door, which he hadn’t. I thought that man was gross, inconsiderate, low class. If he had washed up, gone out and started smoking a cigarette while working, I would have had zero issues with him.
Overuse of condiments/dressing/sauces in general. A normal person just wants enough salad dressing to provide a little edge and bring out the flavors of the fresh greens and veggies. Low class people float their salad in ranch. Normal people dab their French toast in a little bit of quality maple syrup to add that touch of sweetness. Low class people dump half a bottle of Log Cabin on the plate. A normal person wants a dab of kosher salt to make their steak pop. A low class person wants to taste 90% A1 with the flavor of the steak itself being an afterthought.

4) uncontained outbursts that show a lack of self control
5) involuntary lip sounds in general
6) Not lisp(s) but "whisps". For instance when old ladies try to whisper but trailing sounds make a loud "whisp" which silently screeches across the whole room (i.e. not whispering). Worse if repeated every three minutes.
7) dragging their feet and not noticing they are making noise
8) walking four abreast a sidewalk without consideration for others. Same applies for trail etiquette when walkers don't look over their shoulders and clog the trail.
9) compulsive talking - domineering conversations or just going non-stop
10) excessive drinking to the point of talking about drinking during the work day
11) talking about lunch at 9:30AM
12) Not saying please or thank you
13) hard steps on the ground - boom boom boom
14) being unable to sit still in general but also edge-driven movements
